MISSOURI SLUGFEST… Top Democrats Duke It Out in Ugly Twitter Brawl

The worst fear for Missouri Democrats has come to pass.
Local Democrats were hoping the race and rhetoric between U.S. Reps. William Lacy Clay Jr. and Rep. Russ Carnahan would remain civil. The two top Missouri Democrats are battling in the August 7 primary over who gets to remain in Congress. It’s getting really ugly.

Today the St. Louis street brawl moved to Twitter.
The two top Democratic congressmen went at it in an epic Twitter slugfest.

Virginia K. captured the Carnahan – Clay action:

Clay was quick to play the race card – warning Democrats that Carnahan cannot deliver the black vote like he can.

Clay even attacked the Carnahan clan for taking $200 million taxpayer dollars to fund their family wind farm.

And, just think, they still have two weeks to go before the election.
Get your popcorn. It ought to be a thriller.

   If you check Act Blue for St. Louis CD 1 as I did several months ago, you’ll find that Carnahan has hundreds of thousands of campaign dollars. Clay has ? Back at the time it was around $14 thousand. AND THERE IS A THIRD CANDIDATE with just several thousand dollars. A brave woman is waging her second campaign against Lacey. Candice Britton. Hardly anyone mentions her, so I make an extra effort. That even the fourth estate ignores her is reprehensible. Yet she will see the campaign through. Think primary is August 7. http://www.CandiceBritton.com

   These political steel-cage death matches remind me of the middle east: If the jihadists don’t have any Israelis handy, the just kill each other. With zero sympathy for the libs, who hate everyone, I prefer Pres. Reagan’s 11th commandment.

   The pen is mightier than the sword? In this case a set of twitter thumbs?

   Both of them really know nothing about setting examples, but as long as it’s between two liberals let them tear each other a new a$$.

   I don’t want to play the infamous race card. But, I will!

   This is your leader speaking. I am black…

   Well I am half black; some white and a Oreo-black democrat. Thus, you should vote for the black donkey!

   My campaign is sucking air and my Whitie David Axelrod has a new scam for my black donors. It’s a variation the old “race-baiting” scam. Besides, the black people always vote for me. I say take their money and screw them! I cannot answer any more questions. Good day.

   Much like the Iran/Iraq War, I couldn’t care less.

    “Get your popcorn.”

    I officially nominate this as a banned phrase. Do we really want to sound like the spoiled athletes who coined this term? Please get rid of this.
